Amid an atmosphere full of security, safety, and adherence to precautionary measures, the first Taraweeh prayer was performed at the Grand Mosque in Makkah and the Prophet’s Mosque in Madinah on the first night of the Holy Month of Ramadan on Monday.
The prayers were conducted after the approval of the Custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Salman Bin Abdulaziz Al Saud to hold Taraweeh prayers in the mosques and reduce them to 10 Rakats, reported Saudi Press Agency (SPA) on Tuesday.
In addition to screening points and thermal cameras, the General Presidency has also intensified the sanitisation programme with environmentally friendly sterilisers and detergents subjected to high requirements and specifications that do not affect public health.
